I sent a small donation to truthout today, and it reminded me that I hadn’t donated to the EFF for a while, so I paypal’d them an equally small amount.
I know that these are tough times for everyone (me included!), but please do the same, if you can swing it.
If we all contributed just a little bit each, we could really make a huge difference!
Thanks!
I’ve got a ton more footage that I’m editing and compressing that I’ll be uploading over the weekend.
I’ll also be creating MPEG versions of the footage I’ve already posted…
(The Eldred stuff goes up this weekend too!)
I’m hanging out in the Student Union here at San Francisco State University before speaking to the Broadcast Electronic Communications Arts (BECA) 200 class (as I do every fall).
I’ve connected to a wireless network simply titled “bogus.”
Free, universal access rules!
of movie editing and metadata research and ready to take a peek at what’s been cooking the last two days in the outside world…
I’ll finally writing up my little account of the Supremes experience and am also compressing an extremely rough cut of all of my usable video footage as we speak (as I write…as you read…whatever…right now! this instant!)
Don’t worry — we’re only talking about 12 minutes or so of footage…
Drat! I didn’t get much of the stuff from the Senate transcribed over the weekend due to my having to get ready to fly to Washington DC today for Wednesday’s Eldred argument.
Just know that on Friday in the House and Senate in particular there was a lot of talk about accountability to the people — about how questions about this War have not been answered to the members of the House and Senate’s satisfaction and therefore not to the people’s satisfaction — and that many of the committees put together to discuss and decide on some of the most critical issues surrounding the exact details of the situation still have not yet been provided with the information promised to them by the Defense and Intelligence Agencies that were assigned to the task.
There was also a strong urgency from the Senate to at least wait until we could invade with a proper international coalition. Also we would be going against the advice of a number of our own War experts if we invade now.
Damn I wish I had time to transcribe a bit more of the tape. I’m bringing it with me, maybe there’s a library or something somewhere I can use this week…
I’ll fish around for links online backing this stuff up, once I’m back online this evening.
Bush is going to come on television tonight and try to scare you into believing in this War. Don’t be fooled.
Still watching the House and Senate on CSPAN waiting for something to happen on any of the war/anti-war and/or internet radio bills.
Now everyone’s all giddy about some Sherman Amendment. (Looks like the same ill-defined war on terror-type legislation to me…)
Well there seems to be a lot of good stories up today, so let me get back to posting them for you…
I haven’t been able to post for the last day or two due to some bizarre tech problem on my server that has now been fixed (theoretically).
Thanks!
Sorry to be away fro so long…meat space took over for a while there….but I’m baaack!
Okay my “to blog” pile is taking up two tables and starting to talk shit about me behind my back…so it’s time to just start throwing stuff out there…
And yes I’m still writing my OSCON 2002 weblogs! Thanks for asking!
So today I’m tranferring my email and hosting. That’s why yesterday was such a quiet day. (That and finishing up a neat interview for the Creative Commons website…)
I’m back and quite enthused from last night’s event.
If you’ve emailed me over the last few days, about anything, and I haven’t emailed you back, please resend. Thanks!
